Thanks fro your reply When I resubmitted amendments and extra information. After 1 week long struggle BC left a voice mail that he has received my documents and they will get back to me within 3 weeks. I am only want clear communication from BC. Weather is already getting colder and Builder added £2K if we will start in October because of unpredictable weather conditions. Am I unreasonable to ask them why they are talking so long for standard rear extension?

Thanks for the reply. I already paid them £850 so can not choose other BC body. Is it wort it to complaint to the council about the slow process?

I have submitted Full Plan application to Hillingdon Building Control for approval. When I submitted the application I have given the consent that they can take up to 8 week for decision if they required more information and can also approve with condition. After 5 weeks I got a call from building control serveryor and was asking for tree serveryor. There are no such a big tree in my house but there are small trees like (Apple and Plum) in next door property. These trees were already mentioned in the structure calculation pack and their impact on the foundation. He rejected the application instead of asking for further information after 5 weeks. When I got a rejection letter there were 2 reasons - Asked for 30 meter tree survey - According to their record there are trees in 30 meters. - My plan does not comply with Building regulation 2010 section. 14 I called few 10 time to building control and sent them 5 emails to clarify above points but never get any response. When I did not get any response for 2 weeks. I sent them new requirement based on my understanding (Tree survey withing 30 meters and Building regulation 2010 section 14 compliance). Only information I got from Hillingdon Building control that I don not need to submit the application again only send the amendments and process will take up to 3 weeks. Now more than 3 weeks have passed but still no response. I called them few time and sent them few email but BC officer and BC not bother to answer the email. I really fed up with the process now because project already being delayed 1 month. My question is - I want to make a formal complaint about the building control. The only thing is sttoping me that I have to deal with same BC officer during my inspection. BC officer might give me more hard time to approve the work and asked for unnecessary requirement like 30 meter survey. Can anyone share his/her experience in this matter or any advice how to resolve the issue Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone, I am planning to build a rear extension and trying to get information about party wall. I really confused about a party wall arrangement with my neighbours and unable to figure out that I really need agreement with my neighbours. Please someone help to find it out. I live in a semidetached property. We have shared wall on east side neighbour and west side semi detach (only shed wall shared). We have fences that defines the boundaries - My east side neighbour already extended the property. They have bigger plot and extension is in the middle of their properties. East side neighbour extension wall is approximately 2.5 to 3 meter away from our gardens fences. - West side neighbour only shares shed wall. I wanted to demolish the shed because it half inside the proposed extension. Do I need part wall agreement with any of my neighbour? Please look at the attached image if I am unable to explain or for better understanding. Thanks in advance.
